g112 | what's this? a win in Anaheim?!?

Mariners 5 | Angels 1

While I was at the wedding and reception for a dear, longtime friend, it sounds as if I missed one of the better games of the season.  According to the box score and the highlights...

Blake was super stellar...
EIGHT innings pitched - 103 pitches - EIGHT hits - ONE earned run - ZERO walks
That was good enough for his SIXTH straight quality start to begin his major league career, as well as THIRD victory.

't wasn't a save situation...
but Brandon came for the NINTH - recording a fly out, a walk and a DP

And, whadaya know?  the offense clicked a bit...
only eight hits but, four were for extra bases - and it started early.  Adam hit a two-RBI double in the 1st inning to score Ichiro and Dustin.  Mike had his double in the 3rd, scoring Jack (who was subbing for Brendan - sore shoulder).  After Adam was hit by a pitch, Miggy singled to drive in Mike.  And then in the 7th, Trayvon collected his only hit of the night - a solo shot to center for his first major league home run.
